Sisi rejects foreign interference in Africa, urges shared-river cooperation

Egyptian President Sisi publicly rejected foreign interference in African affairs and called for cooperation on shared rivers, emphasizing sovereignty and that development must not harm other countries. The statement, likely aimed at Nile water disputes and external powers' influence, signals a diplomatic push to frame Egypt's position as cooperative while opposing external meddling. It remains unclear whether this rhetoric will translate into concrete policy shifts or is a response to recent tensions.
